Small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) sometimes feel invisible in the cyber world—a blip too tiny for hackers to care about. But that belief, along with a handful of other common cybersecurity myths, can leave your business wide open to attacks you’re not expecting, aren’t prepared for, and likely can’t afford.
When you first sign up with a managed IT services provider (MSP), things will usually go well. Tickets get resolved, systems hum along, and you no longer need to sweat the technical details. But as your business grows and your needs evolve, what was once a perfect fit can start to feel a little… tight.
Some of your most significant vulnerabilities may be sitting right beside you. Insider threats—security risks that originate from within your organization—account for nearly 34% of all data breaches, yet remain significantly underaddressed by small businesses.
According to recent studies, 74% of companies plan to permanently shift some employees to remote work, while 55% of employees want to work at least three days a week remotely. This new paradigm has fundamentally changed how businesses approach their IT infrastructure.
Small businesses aren’t just on cybercriminals’ radar – they’re in the crosshairs. According to recent cybersecurity reports, 43% of all cyberattacks specifically target small businesses, with ransomware becoming increasingly prevalent.
